Machine translation gives you a first draft of every page in one click. NijeesWeb connects to the service you choose, **using your own account and key** — you pay the service directly, usually little or nothing for a small website.

## Choose a service

| Service | Good to know |
| --- | --- |
| **DeepL** | Excellent quality for European languages. Free keys end in `:fx`. |
| **Google Cloud Translation** | The widest range, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Urdu. Needs an API key from Google Cloud. |
| **Microsoft (Azure AI Translator)** | Also strong for Indian languages. Needs a key and a **Region**. |
| **LibreTranslate** | Open source; use a hosted service with a key, or your own server address. |

> [!TIP]
> For Indian languages, Google and Microsoft are usually the best choices.

## Connect it

1. Open **Languages › Languages & Detection** and scroll to **Machine translation**.
2. Choose the **Service**.
3. Paste your **API key** — *stored encrypted and never shown again*. For Microsoft, also the **Region** (such as `centralindia`); for LibreTranslate, the **Server address**.
4. For DeepL, choose a **Tone** — *Default*, *Formal* or *Informal* — where the language supports it.
5. Save, then select **Test the connection**.

To replace a key, type a new one. To remove it, tick **Remove the saved key** and save.

## Use it

Go to **Languages › Translations** and select **Translate missing**, or translate a single item. Machine translations are marked **needs review** until someone saves them. See [Translate your content](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/languages/translate-your-content).

## Formatting and links survive

Text is sent as formatted HTML, so bold, links and lists keep their places in the translation.
